| asymmetric encryption | crittografia asimmetrica (A method of encryption that uses a pair of mathematically related keys: a public key and a corresponding private key. Either key can be used to encrypt data, but the corresponding key must be used to decrypt it) |
| 128-bit encryption | crittografia a 128 bit (A high level of encryption that uses a 128-bit key to scramble the contents of a file or data packet to make the data unreadable without the decryption key) |
| 40-bit encryption | crittografia a 40 bit (A low level of encryption that uses a 40-bit key to scramble the contents of a file or data packet to make the data unreadable without the decryption key) |
| 128-bit SSL encryption | crittografia SSL a 128 bit (An encryption level used for SSL. The number refers to the length of the key, so the higher the number, the more difficult the encryption is to break) |
| BitLocker Drive Encryption | Crittografia unità BitLocker (A hardware-based security feature that prevents unauthorized access to a computer by providing full-volume encryption and integrity checking of boot components) |
| BitLocker on-write encryption | crittografia BitLocker in scrittura (A BitLocker feature that incrementally encrypts the hard drive as free space is used) |
| bulk encryption | crittografia di massa (A process in which large amounts of data, such as files, e-mail messages, or online communications sessions, are encrypted for confidentiality. It is usually done with a symmetric key algorithm) |
| data encryption | crittografia dei dati (The process of converting readable data (plaintext) into a coded form (ciphertext) to prevent it from being read by an unauthorized party) |
| data encryption key | chiave DEK (A bit string that is used in conjunction with an encryption algorithm to encrypt and decrypt data) |
| Device Encryption | Crittografia dispositivo (The out-of-the-box encryption capabilities that are automatically included on PCs running Windows RT.) |
| device encryption | crittografia del dispositivo (The use of encryption to protect local device data from offline hardware attacks) |
| encryption key | chiave di crittografia (A bit string that is used in conjunction with an encryption algorithm to encrypt and decrypt data) |
| encryption provider | provider di crittografia (Software that provides encryption for sensitive data, such as passwords, in applications) |
| encryption setting | impostazione di crittografia (A configuration element that specifies a type of encryption, such as 128-, 56-, or 40-bit encryption) |
| full volume encryption | crittografia dell'intero volume (The process of converting volumes into a coded form so they cannot be read without first authenticating to Windows; or, if on different hardware, without an escrowed recovery key) |
| full volume encryption key | chiave di crittografia dell'intero volume (The algorithm-specific key that is used to encrypt (and optionally, diffuse) data on disk sectors. Currently, this key can be either 128 bits or 256 bits advanced encryption standard (AES). The default encryption algorithm that BitLocker Drive Encryption uses is AES 128 bit with diffuser) |
| public key encryption | crittografia a chiave pubblica (A method of encryption that uses a pair of mathematically related keys: a public key and a corresponding private key. Either key can be used to encrypt data, but the corresponding key must be used to decrypt it) |
| Rivest-Shamir-Adleman encryption | crittografia Rivest-Shamir-Adleman (The patented public key encryption method, introduced by Ronald Rivest, Adi Shamir, and Leonard Adleman in 1978, on which the PGP (Pretty Good Privacy) encryption program is based) |
| RSA encryption | crittografia RSA (The patented public key encryption method, introduced by Ronald Rivest, Adi Shamir, and Leonard Adleman in 1978, on which the PGP (Pretty Good Privacy) encryption program is based) |
| secret key encryption | crittografia a chiave privata (An encryption algorithm that requires the same secret key to be used for both encryption and decryption. Because of its speed, symmetric encryption is typically used when a message sender needs to encrypt large amounts of data) |
| symmetric encryption | crittografia simmetrica (An encryption algorithm that requires the same secret key to be used for both encryption and decryption. Because of its speed, symmetric encryption is typically used when a message sender needs to encrypt large amounts of data) |
| TLS encryption | crittografia TLS (A generic security protocol similar to Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), used with Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP)) |
| Transport Layer Security encryption | crittografia Transport Layer Security (A generic security protocol similar to Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), used with Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP)) |
